January 18, 2025 S3.62 - What's in a Name... "Emma"
Send us Fan Mail
The name "Emma" has Germanic roots, stemming from the Old German word "ermen" or "irmen," which means "universal." This name has actually been one of the top three most popular girl names in the United States since 2003. Another fun fact, "Emma" got another boost when Friends writers chose the name for the baby daughter of Rachel and Ross. During my interview with Emma, she brought up a new perspective that I never thought of... listen to the episode to find out!

One of the more sought after names on my podcast in relation to the question I ask of "if you could change your name, what would you change it to?" happens to be the name in this next episode. The name "Samantha" has Hebrew origins and means "heard by God". I loved getting to know Samantha better in this episode... there were several "light-bulb" moments - which I absolutely LOVE! Enjoy!

One of the greatest blessings in doing this podcast, is having the ability to reconnect with old friends. In this episode, I get to interview a friend from when I used to live in Charleston, SC. This was a really fun interview. Kimberley was the name of my late mentor as well, who had a profound impact on my life. I am really grateful for both of the Kimberley's who have come into my life... they have definitely made a strong impact.
